Games tell stories best when they're elliptical and ambiguous and there's a sense of roaming and freedom.

I'm an Old Media guy. I don't have a website; I don't Twitter. I love magazines, yet I love video games. It's a strange disconnect.

All the stuff I love most in game storytelling is never the big-picture stuff; it's the stuff that feels like curlicues, stuff that's just there because it's a game and because you can do it.

All video games are games, obviously. They're designed. They're digital. They have rules; they give an audience some type of vicarious experience.

One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.

For the last few years, I've enjoyed writing my own stuff since studying creative writing at school, and as I've grown up, I've realised how much I enjoy escaping into a world that I've created myself. So I've kept that up as a hobby.

I never felt that I was typecast, but I was concerned about it. I certainly made an effort to take as many parts in theater and film that resisted that. If you only learn how to act a certain kind of role, it is very difficult to grow as an actor.

Understand, I had absolutely no interest in writing; I wanted to be a Writer.
